More Than Meets the Eye
June 6 - September 6, 2025
Belger Crane Yard GalleryOpening Reception: June 6 from 6 to 8 PM
The Belger Crane Yard Gallery presents More Than Meets the Eye, an exhibition of two- and three-dimensional art that pushes the boundaries of perception. The exhibition features work by Cortney Boyd, Eriko Kobayashi, Dylan Martinez, Stephen Morrison, Gina Pisto, and Logan Reynolds. In addition, artwork from the Belger Collection by artists such as Charles Bell, Paul Dresang, Misty Gamble, Marilyn Levine, Bonnie Seeman, and Renée Stout are also on view, providing a historical context to the realism movement, creating moments of connection and conversation throughout the exhibition that span time and material.
In a world where perceptions shape beliefs, More Than Meets the Eye serves as a reminder that all is not what it seems. From Charles Bell’s photorealistic painting, Gumball No. 6, to Dylan Martinez’s hyperreal glass sculptures, Water Bags, the exhibition encourages careful consideration and invites viewers to carefully inspect, question, and meaningfully explore.
In conjunction with More than Meets the Eye, the Gallery hosts a pop-up series in the vein of the “Is it Cake?” Netflix television show where bakers create hyper-realistic replicas of objects. Three local culinary artists will create “replicakes” (replicas in cake form) of specific works from the exhibition. The public is invited to view and taste these “replicakes” and purchase tasty treats at the culinary artist pop-ups held on the following First Fridays during the run of the exhibition:
Friday, June 6, 6-8 pm: Natasha Goellner, owner of Mulberry and Mott
Friday, August 1, 6-8 pm: Pastry chef Nichole Taylor
Friday, September 5, 6-8 pm: Kannika Costello, owner of Mooyuei Baker
